Cue the "has Hollywood officially run out of ideas?" comments now: "The Bodyguard" is the latest movie to get a big-screen reboot.

The 1992 film — which spawned a best-selling soundtrack that included "I Will Always Love You," "I'm Every Woman" and "I Have Nothing" — starred Kevin Costner as a Secret Service Agent assigned with protecting a singer (Whitney Houston) from a crazed fan. While safeguarding her body, he also captures her heart.

According to Deadline, the new movie will have a more modern twist. This time around, it's an Iraq war vet trying to keep the diva out of danger, and thanks to today's world of Twitter, Google Maps, and TMZ that won't be easy.

As of yet, no actors are attached to this tuned-up version of "The Bodyguard," which begs the question: Who would you like to see in the leading roles?

Fantasia would be great. She has the pipes to breathe life into the songs like "I Have Nothing" and "I Will Always Love You" and have some acting experience. She would possibly needs to get an acting coach to help sharpen her acting chops. Whitney wasn't an experience actress, but she got the part because Kevin Costner fought for her. So I think Fantasia should be hands down a great choice to play Whitney Houston's role and Hugh Jackman can play Kevin Costner's role or Jamie Foxx because Fantasia and Jamie have great chemistry.

She would also be great for The Bodyguard musical when it comes to Broadway sometime in 2014.

i think they should cast hottie Alex O'Loughlin and Jennifer Lopez. She can diva it up with the best of them, she can sing and he is so flippin hot! They had great on screen chemistry in The Backup Plan. Might create some juicy problems between her Mark !

What about whitneys kid with Kevin costner. Let say she left and realized she was preggers. Then 20 ish years later an actress like ryhanna or someone gets stalked. Whitney and Kevin could make cameos. He still looks good. Writters need to call me. I got some ideas. No nasty comments on people it not nice unless you have the balls to say it to their face

This movie was a all time hit. And if anyone should play the part it should be all the a listers that starred in the movie. And not only that it would be a Great come back for Whitney Houston her and Kevin Costner were the Best in this movie such a great love story.

I truely think that hollywood has run out of ideas, their is nothing new or exviting about thestories coming out of tincel town. I think that the reason that people are so agianst this moviebecause its an ethnic cenima movie with a white man falling in love with a black woman. I also think that who ever they get to play the two laeading roles should be high caliber actors and the story line should be exceptional. To go over and be excepted by the american public.

I think it would be a great movie if they bout back whitney and kevin as retired parents of a hit star daughter beyonce or keshia coles and let them ave jay z or ti be the bodyguard but this time body guard dies savin the singer and she makes or remakes a hit song for him

Jason Stratham, Channing Tatum or Ashton Kutcher with Beyonce, Rihanna (can she act?), Christina Aguilera, Keri Hilson. But seriously, this film is a classic of sorts, why remake it now if ever. Surely there are screenwriters out there with original ideas. Sigh.

One good thing about that movie was Kevin Costner. No, no, that's not what I meant. Because of his receding hairline, he was just beginning to look like Steve McQueen, sort of. Actually, that's all I remember about that movie. At least I remembered something about it.

I'm seeing Ben Affleck in my head for some reason. But I can imagine Josh Duhamel, or Ryan Reynolds too. Whoever it is needs to be pretty to look at. : ) I'm personally ok with them remaking that one. Out with the old. And get a new song please.

Would it need to be a singer necessarily? J. Lo can sing and act...well, sort of. She was good in Selena. But would she still draw the box office? I think Scarlet Johansson sings...don't put her with Ryan though. Yikes. Awkward. It needs to be someone who pulls off superstar paparazzi bait. I know. Lindsay Lohan. She sings too.

The 1st BodyGuard movie suked. Hollywood must be deparate for remakes to consider this one. How about Mobarek and Quadaaffi as the celeb, and the bodyguard looks the other way. Nice short 5mins film. -Art

Pistol "Pete" Rosenblatt....saw him take down a bunch of drunk city kids who were about to get up in Tory Spelling's grill in Las Vegas....of course her wimp brother didn't do anything. Think he took the phone off one guy and smacked him around with it.

I say Will Smith as the Bodyguard. He's due for a decent dramatic role. I would also say Justin Bieber as the star but make the Bodyguard fall in love with the stars mom instead. Have the villan be the stars manager....

Madonna was Costners first choice for this role back in 92, but after she made fun of him during her Blond Ambition movie, he decided to go with Whitney. Too bad Madonna's big mouth ruined that for her, she would have been good playing herself in the movie.

Wow, so many hateful and racist comments. Whitney is not the 1st addict in Hollywood, I don’t recall you all commenting on how Downey was caught passed out under some kids bed whenever Iron man comes out. Why the hate? The woman is very talented and has made a huge comeback. If you don’t want to see the movie, don’t. Heck, I thought true grit was the stupidest movie I had ever seen. But there is no reason to be racist jerks. So much for “post racial” America.

A 'remake' of a 1992 film?? Seriously?? Wow, that took alot of thought. Enough with the remakes. What happened to originality?? 1992 wasn't really that long ago-and this film could stand on its own without a remake. That's bizarre.

I don't think that they can do this movie over. I agree that they should think of something else
that will spart the attention of movie goers, give us something that we will be glad to spend our
money on.

Well here's another one for the books. Another remake, not surprising since this has become the "remake era". Although I woud've loved to have seen the Diana Ross & Steve McQueen original. As for who plays the part, well, it would be a real gas to see Matt Damon & Christina aguilera play the part.

i agree with Rhianna, Janet Jackson, Halle or Beyonce....also, there is no excuse for the derogatory language...cnn should immediately remove any comments using that kind of language or not even allow them to be seen in the first place.

Hhhmmm how about Liam Neeson as the bodyguard? And LiLo after she gets out of jail. I bet she has the spoiled brat role down pat. Or why not a guy singer and a female bodyguard? Sarah Michelle Gellar can save him from zombies (hey shes already done the vampire thing). Maybe josh jackson as the singer...

Hollywood official sucks now......
I'm SOOO glad better movie markets such as Albuquerque and emerging markets are finally taking over as Movie production hubs with good Original films....
Hollywood just BLOWS!!!!!

You all are missing the point............this is not about Whitney. I'm sure she's not the only one who has made a mistake, regretted it and it trying to turn her life around. So let the one without a sin cast the first stone!!!! The question was "Who would you like to see star in the movie?" Can we get some real answers to that and stop the Whitney hating?

Oh, God, nooooooooooooo!!!!
The first one was bad enough!!! What the h3ll is Hollywood thinking, anyway? There are so many good books that could be made into movies, and they want to re-make THIS garbage???

I thought the original Bodyguard movie was very good. I don't think there should be a re-make. Kevin Costner was and still is hot! But if Hollywood insist to do this I would have to say Josh Duhmal and Jordan Sparks with the older man twist.

I would much prefer a "Bodyguard" sequel with Kevin Costner in the starring role.
But, if Hollywood really feels they have just got to do it in a "modern format", why don't they put a few brain cells together and come up with an orignal storyline? Who should star in a revamp? Try Channing Tatum and Christina Aguillera.

Bobby Brown as the FBI guy who gets caught up in the celebrity of it all and turns into a junkie. True story, and Whitney saves him from his vices as she is also a junkie and they live happily everafter.

The original wasn't that original in the first place – it was written for Diana Ross and Steve McQueen (hence Costner's haircut), took 20 years to get made, and had been rejigged a load of times before it was finally filmed

Jennifer H and Fantasia have the pipes and some acting experience, as does Mariah (but I doubt Mariah would consider following Whitney). For something very different, Leann Rimes is a fabulous singer who's acted; but it'd be a country-oriented film. Who's gonna go see this already knowing what happens? also, how about a classical singer, a true diva, eh?

The original wasn't that great, why waste money making another that will do half the biz? It's not Whitney and society is no longer enamored with the illicit mystery of jungle fever (as in most people could care less about interracial dating these days, it's not the hot button topic that it was back then).

We don't need a remake. I love Whitney, but since the Bobby Brown days she is trying revamp her carrer. Kevin, well, his movies have not been Blockbusters. Just a thought here: How about a sequel with both. Whitney needs to make another soundtrack like Bodyguard. Kevin had good chemistry with Whitney. They both still look good. It would be nice to see how the relationship of the charcters develped. The key is to hire some damn good writers. And if movie does not work....well, if Whitney can produce another awesome soundtrack, well then, that will be good enough for me.....I'm just saying....

And in this one, the Bodyguard has major anger issues. Anyone who gets in her way or even looks at her wrong immediately gets ground and pounded into unconsciousness by the crazed bodyguard. She sets out to reform him and they live happily ever after.

I went to high school with the girl who played Whitney's sister in this movie. When it comes to singing MIchelle could hold her own with anybody – including Whitney – and I would love to see her have a chance to play the lead in this film.

dolly parton originally wrote and recorded i will always love you and did a much better job of it than whitney i think. the only reason i will watch the film is because dolly parton will be in the credits

Come on, seriously!! This was a great movie with a great sound trak the first time around. I don't see how they could remake it. Now I said the same thing about the Karate Kid and I have to admit that Jackie Chan and Jayden (think thats the right Smith) did a great job and that was a great movie, I just dont see the Bodyguard being able to be remade tho.

HEY.. I'm just a ... a lonely old ....
Dolly Parton did a great version of HER song and bill t and I agree I like her orginal rendition better than Whitney.
The movie was ok, it was not great and it was not horrible. It is a matter of who is in the movie and of you do not like a certain actor or actress you will not enjoy the movie so give it a rest.

LOL at the Lindsey references. I truly believe that there aren't any creative writers out there anymore. Let's face it, it appears that almost every subject/movie done in the 60's and 70's has been redone. And if they haven't some resurrected, you can look to seeing them done soon. Unfortunately, they don't always capture the essence from the first one.

The same holds true for music. I don't think there will ever be another era like the 50's to 70's and even the 80's. I guess all drugs the parent did back then, have affected today's creativity.

Whitney is a pretty woman with a gorgeous voice, but she is a lousy actress. Kevin normally can hold any movie, but not The Bodyguard due to her poor acting and probably some poor directing. Anyone they pick for the lead female role in the remake needs to be able to act as well as sing.

Perhaps you are correct in saying my suggestion only compounds things....then maybe just leave the whole thing alone. THe movie was done, it did well considering, and the soundtrack certainly gave Whitney a lot of comfort financially; but sadly, that comfort is no more. Still, Hollywood is going to do what they always do for profit becuase folks will go see it, and if it bombs at the box office, it will certainly make some profit on the dvd release and rentals via netflix etc. somehow. So in the end Hollywood wins.
